So I played FINAL FANTASY X For The First Time...

JRPGs don't get more legendary than Final Fantasy X. A game with staggering influence that would define the genre for decades. After 21 years, I have finally played this game from start to finish. I would love to give you the TLDR, but this is Retro Rebound's longest video yet. With that much to say, I'll have the video do the speaking for me on where I lie with one of the most loved games of all time.

When people aren't sent to the far plane they eventually become fiends. It was very clearly explained in the game.

As someone who's father left when I was tiny kid, this game really spoke to me with the whole relationship between Titus and Sin

I see everyone talking about how great the story/characters/battle system is in FF10 but I think what truly makes it great is the musical score. If To Zanarkand doesn't make you feel anything then you must be dead inside.

19:55 This question was explained when Yuna performs the first Sending you witness after a Sin attack near the beginning of the game. Spirits which don’t get Sent eventually turn into the fiends you’ve spent the entire game fighting. Auron and Seymour just have the willpower to resist that devolution for a while.

I own this game on PS2, PS3, PS4, and a physical copy on my Xbox. This game is legendary. Best story telling I’ve seen.

I love that, in a way, the game foreshadows Tidus being an Aeon from the first couple of minutes. The only entities you're allowed to name freely in FFX are the Aeons, and he just so happens to be our first one. Cheeky :)

For a time in my life I didn't get overly emotionally involved in pretty much ANYTHING. As a child and early teen I was hyper emotional but in late teens to early 20's that just seemed to stop. THIS game actually opened up my closed off emotions with the scene where Tidus disappears and Yuna's confession of love. The way she composes herself after falling through him and you think she'll just lay there forever; then saying she loves him without looking at him. Heart breaking.

FFX just gives me a vibe I can’t describe. The musical score, characters, combat. It’s literally a masterpiece.

[italianspiderman]

I heavily disagree that the sphere grid system is “drawn out” and leveling should happen “quietly in the background”, what I dislike the most about modern jrpgs is that I have no agency on my characters getting stronger, it’s just grinding to see a number go up, just get the number as high as the lvl gated content requires, that’s it, and at this point just get rid of leveling, it’s redundant and pointless, either involve the player in the process or get rid of it.

[dizzyupthefool]

One of the greatest games of all time. There is no debate to be had on this.

[VitaEx]

Tidus isn’t refusing to die he’s a memory brought to life by the fayth to fight sin he’s basically a summon he only exists in this time because the fayth will him to exist. It’s like he’s a xerox of the orginal tidus and gains new memories and experiences

[vaajchang]

27:30 Tidus tells his dad he hates him before the fight and held him. You have to understand the relationship he has with his dad. He expresses his anger as a confession of what he felt while at the same time loves his dad because it’s his dad and that he loves Tidus back in his sphere recording confession

[Nirvashtype]

Easily a masterpiece I love this game so damn much

[followertheleader]

Ff10 arguably has one of the best stories in the entire catalog of jrpgs.

I played for the first time this year too (HD Remaster on Switch). Wow, just wow. Incredible experience and not just one of the best JRPG's I've ever played, but one of the best games period.

[gnpvermillion]

I remember leveling up for hours and I would switch every character out and attack once then keep switching them out and using my main 3 so everyone got XP. Ah the good old days

[InvntdXNEWROMAN]

FFX is still probably my favorite game of all time. No game has compared to this experience when I was 11 years old, haha. I put 700 hours into my first playthrough and about 400 of that was blitzball.

[McProski]

This game brings me back to my childhood, watching my older brother play just being completely enthralled with the gameplay. It's been 5+ years since we've seen in each other and all the memories come flooding back when I see stuff like this.

This is becoming a top tier retro channel. Keep it up. Up there with metal Jesus

[MandosCulture]

I played this game back when I was around 10-12 and it changed the way I viewed games largely. I beat it in every conceivable way, and I believe I was near FC. This game is incredible
